'Baguette war' breaks out between rival food vans over fried breakfast eating challenge

A 'baguette war' has broken out between rival food vans over who was first to come up with a jaw-breaking eating challenge. The culinary clash arose after the owner of Meg's Grill & Chill in Bridgend took to social media to suggest that their competitor - Richie's Snack Bar in Aberdare - pinched their calorific concept of serving up a monster meal for free if devoured in one sitting and within a certain time.

The spat began after Megan Israel, whose burger van is based in the car park of a Wickes hardware store in Waterton, posted an image online of one of Richard Davies of Richie's Snack Bar's gigantic gastronomical creations. The picture showed a whopping £20 fried breakfast roll filled to the brim and as long as your arm, all of which the customer gets for free should they manage to devour it onsite in 45 minutes

Megan's post was accompanied with the words, "Look familiar?", along with a laughing emoji. However, Richie claimed that when he tried to respond he found himself blocked from leaving a comment on her Facebook page.
